A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 48

Day 48: “Process”

---

It’s interesting what gets left on the cutting room floor

I try to keep an open mind

Write from the heart

---

But sometimes

---

I just need to delete

And rewrite

And try again

---

I started today’s poem with

“I wish I was a witch

And sisters with Sandra Bullock”

---

Which I liked, but how do you follow that?

What do you write next?

---

Then I started a poem about gluttony

And that stopped right when it started for obvious reasons

---

Now

What’s left?

---

Something pretty meta

And I’m okay with that
